this mama whale and calf footage is amazing, enjoy : )

The migratory path of Australia’s east coast Humpback whales brings them so close to Byron Bay that they are often sighted within   meters  off Cape Byron. . yey!!!

The beginning of the northern migration of the humpback whales is under way, with regular pods being sighted below the Cape Byron Lighthouse, one of Australia’s premier land-based vantage points, in the last few weeks.

National Parks and Wildlife Service (NPWS) Byron Coast Area Manager Sue Walker said the recent whale sightings mark the beginning of one of nature’s great annual migrations.

“The east coast humpback whale population, estimated at approximately 10,000, travel from Antarctica up the east coast of Australia to their breeding grounds in the warmer Coral Seas,” she said.

“This is a major wildlife event that can be enjoyed by the whole community.”

Researchers from Southern Cross University will provide updates on their ongoing whale identification projects.

If you would like to witness these magnificent marine mammals travelling past Cape Byron, find out a bit more about them or would like to show your support towards conservation of humpback whales, come up to Cape Byron Lighthouse.

how to speak whale….

A Hopi Elder Speaks

Then he clasped his hands together, smiled, and said,
“This could be a good time!”
There is a river flowing now very fast.
It is so great and swift that there are those who will be afraid.
They will try to hold on to the shore.
They will feel they are being torn apart and will suffer greatly.
Know the river has its destination.

The elders say we must let go of the shore, push off into the middle
of the river, keep our eyes open and our heads above the water.
And I say, see who is in there with you and celebrate.

At this time in history we are to take nothing personally,
least of all, ourselves.
For the moment we do,
our spiritual growth and journey comes to a halt.

The time of the lone wolf is over.
Gather yourselves!!
Banish the word struggle from your attitude
and your vocabulary.

All that we do now must be done in a sacred manner
and in celebration.

We are the ones we have been waiting for

In my understanding Orbs are best described as balls of energy and light that vary greatly in their appearance and can travel at high speed.  They present in a multitude of colours including white, yellow, orange, pink, red, green, blue, purple and in combination, like a rainbow. enjoy, dale
